I already dislike the button that makes your text space larger.
(that one is pointless... if you have to do a large message, use notepad)
I very much doubt it would clutter the page very much to have an extra button between hide all and show all, but...

If it's easy to implement (and I think Jos suggested that) it would be a surprisingly useful change.


It's yet another several pixels that will be covered with buttons rather than events. Just like how the "large box" button is on it's own line for whatever reason. On a low res machine, i don't even see any events without scrolling down. It's too cluttered.

:? If it's between the hide all and show all buttons (as Surly mentioned), it's not going to make a difference. They're at the bottom of the events screen anyway.

Not if this suggestion is accepted. Then they're at the top of the events list too.

I'm only talking about if that one button were added as Surly only mentioned how adding the one won't make much of a difference. I think they should be at the top even if they're not at the bottom. Anyway, if they're at the top, they can be put on the same line as the "Large Box" button, only to the far right, and won't make a difference then either.

Nonetheless, this suggestion is about adding another bar, on top.
Doubling the space taken by the junk.

Just press page down a few times if you really need to scroll down that fast...

They never said that the top bar wouldn't be put on the same line as the "Large Box" button. If it was, it doesn't matter whether it's added or not because it won't change anything significant.
